A Day in Space

This homeschooling adventure continues to surprise me with fun and goodtimes!

Who would have thought?

A few months back my girlfriend hosted my littles for A Medieval Day,

so now it was my turn to host A Day in Space!

I'm so thankful for Pintrist and all the creative folks that share their ideas - they make me look good!

 

I built a really fun star gazing fort with black table cloths and twinkle lights!

The kids looked at space books with flashlights (it was really dark in there) and then presented us with some facts on stars.

 

We made some constellation viewers

 

And created our own constellations out of marshmallows and pretzels

 

Then onto the moon!

I've always been so in awe of the moon, probably because my mom is.

She still will call me and say, "you have to go outside and look at the moon tonight!"

 

We paused for a little dance party -

checkout this song to C Lo Green's "Forget You"

It's awesome!

 

Then we painted our own moon phase chart

 

 

 

And a break for a little Rocket Fuel!

 

Some Meteorites for dessert

 

And probably their favorite - making moon craters!

 

We dropped different size balls, at different heights, into a pan filled with flour

to see how the craters of the moon were formed.

 

 

 

We ended with some Oreo moon phases!



A good, educational, time was had by all!!
